What's the very worst reason you've had to quit mid game when playing online multiplayer? (reddthat.com)

I always quit midgame, because in windows, whenever my laptop over heats, windows fails to smoothly throttle and the game starts running on less than 1 fps.
even the windows UI runs slow.

To fix the issue, I reset windows for the third time now, hopefully it fixes it self.

EDIT: This issue isnt software issue, because linux doesnt suffer from this

    Tried cleaning fans and dust? Replacing thermal paste?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but its a windows problem because linux (I dualboot) doesnt suffer from this.

    Tried playing the same game in both Operating systems. windows HEAVILY throttled after ~15 minutes, linux smoothly throttled (the game ran in ~25 fps after the overheating in linux, while in windows it ran ~1 fps)

    Linux throttles early so I usually need to lower the graphics to enjoy a more consistent 60 fps.

    I suppose the followup question is, why keep a Windows partition if your games play better on Linux anyways?
